Interesting fact
The ⅙ Thaler coin was minted during the reign of Frederick William, also known as the "Great Elector," who ruled Brandenburg-Prussia from 1640 to 1688. During his reign, Frederick William implemented a number of economic and military reforms that helped to strengthen the state and increase its power. One of these reforms was the introduction of a new coinage system, which included the ⅙ Thaler coin, that was designed to promote trade and commerce within the region. The coin was made of silver and featured an image of the Elector on one side and the coat of arms of Brandenburg-Prussia on the other. Despite its relatively small denomination, the ⅙ Thaler coin was an important part of the economy of Brandenburg-Prussia during this time period and is still sought after by collectors today.
